Routing in Symfony2

Question

How to setup default routing in Symfony2?

In Symfony1 it looked something like this:

homepage:
  url:   /
  param: { module: default, action: index }

de

Symfony2 standard routing component does not support it, but this bundle fills the gap Symfony1 left:

https://github.com/LeaseWeb/LswDefaultRoutingBundle

It does what you expect. You can default route a bundle using this syntax:

FosUserBundle:
  resource: "@FosUserBundle"
  prefix:   /
  type:     default

It scans your bundle and automatically adds routes to your router table that you can debug by executing:

app/console router:debug

Example of automatically added default routes:

[router] Current routes
Name                          Method Pattern
fos_user.user.login_check     ANY    /user/login_check.{_format}
fos_user.user.logout          ANY    /user/logout.{_format}
fos_user.user.login           ANY    /user/login.{_format}
...

You see that it also supports the automatic "format" selection by using a file extension (html, json or xml).
